It's a razor thin line and we can't really tell unless the roommates were horribly unqualified for the job.

But I'd probably hire in a similar way for a startup. Not because of nepotism, but because I know the kinds of peope I want to hire are massively productive and good at their respective fields, I'd be honored if they could do that work under me.

(note: no real plan to do this and half my friends aren't in my specific domain regardless).
